[19:45] <.Bynw> .
[19:45] <.Bynw> *Having pitched their own tent in the massive tent city outside of Quiette Castle's walls, the party has
[19:45] <.Bynw> explored some of the nearby tents and establishments looking for information in their quest.
[19:45] <.Bynw> Speaking with an Einarian Royal Guard, they have discovered little or next to nothing about the
[19:45] <.Bynw> killings.  Although both Nym and Kanax seem to agree that what they seek is in the south of Einar and
[19:45] <.Bynw> not here in the north near Quiette Castle.*
[19:45] <.Bynw> .
[19:45] <.Bynw> *Finding a local merchant who is known to several of the party members, the group goes about 
[19:45] <.Bynw> aquiring a few items they need.  As they plan to leave as soon as possible, dispite the warnings of
[19:45] <.Bynw> the locals about a werewolf in the area.*
[19:45] <.Bynw> .
[19:45] <.Bynw> *Seanna and Lars have left the tavern tent and returned to the group's tent near the outer walls of
[19:45] <.Bynw> the castle.  Here they stay working on a project of their own.  Lars outside guarding the door and
[19:45] <.Bynw> Seanna within.*

[19:46] <+James> ((Is David still with us?))
[19:46] * +Kanax grumbles quietly to himself as he finishes his own preparations.
[19:47] <+Jenna> ((awww a widdle project how cute))
[19:47] * IIsi50MHz is now known as DavidSeafort
[19:47] <.Bynw> (( yes David is still with you ... since you need some silvered weapons ... and are leaving as soon as possible, guess he has to fire up the forge ))
[19:47] <.Bynw> (( or tell you to bugger off ))
[19:48] <+Nym> ::Raises an eyebrow:: "David anything out of the ordinary about the lowlands to the south of here?" 
[19:49] * +James waits interestedly for David's answer.
[19:49] <DavidSeafort> "I travel here from the north, and usually back again when the beer runs low. So just rumours."
[19:50] <+James> "Rumors are better than nothing at all."
[19:50] <+Nym> ::Nods:: "Anything would be helpfull." 
[19:51] <DavidSeafort> "Around twenty days ago, some disappeared or were killed. Not sure which--or both for that matter."
[19:51] <DavidSeafort> "And druids have been killed."
[19:51] <+James> Druids??
[19:51] <+Nym> ::looks to james and seems to share a knowing look for a moment:: 
[19:51] <DavidSeafort> "Sic."
[19:52] * DavidSeafort considers
[19:52] <+James> "Druids in particular seem to have been targeted, or just some of the victims were druids?"
[19:52] <DavidSeafort> "There may have been a bit about a new type of tree, too. Some say the druids were looking into it."
[19:53] * +Kanax returns to the merchant tent.
[19:53] <+James> ::James sighs:: "Oh, those druids . . . "
[19:53] * +Jenna looks at James sympathetically
[19:54] * DavidSeafort snags a near server and a waves a merhant guard over, scribbles something on a torn off corner of the ledger, and sends them off to the forge
[19:55] <+Nym> ::Nods and holds his chin in contemplation then speaks after a moment:: "I don't think the baron will have any special immunity to the horrors of the Einar wilds; most likely he will need a place to lay low at night. Any such place to the south of here David; ruins and such?" 
[19:55] <DavidSeafort> (and to find one or two of those pesky unprofitable scimitars
[19:55] <DavidSeafort> )
[19:56] * +Kanax speaks up, "There are. The country is dotted with villages, and keeps, some ruined, some in operation, some ruined AND in operation.'
[19:57] <+Kanax> "When it's unsafe to travel at night, it's natural for settlements to spring up less than a day from each other.
[19:57] <DavidSeafort> "Heh heh, they would be, at that." (:
[19:57] <DavidSeafort> "That too."
[19:58] <+Nym> ::Nods at holds Davids gaze:: "That castle we stopped at last time Caran and myself past through; how far to the south is that David?" 
[19:58] * +Kanax looks thoughtful.
[19:58] <+Kanax> ((one second, phone))
[20:01] * +Kanax suddenly jumps up, and finds the nearest Einar guard.
[20:01] <DavidSeafort> (( *casts Load Faster on teara-adan.com's server* ))
[20:02] <.Bynw> *Kanax easily finds one of the guard patrols that keep an eye on the tent city*
[20:03] <DavidSeafort> "Would that be Colicos?"
[20:04] <.Bynw> (( Colicos castle is the capital of Einar ... and definately not it -  Nym was refering to the adventure when you joined ))
[20:04] <+Jenna> ((what is this Colicos fixation you have, IIsi?? ))
[20:04] <DavidSeafort> (( huh, Jenna? ))
[20:05] <DavidSeafort> (( well...the maps is not the one I had before and I dun remember anything about it... ))
[20:05] <+Jenna> (( ah ))
[20:06] <+Kanax> "Could you help me find Sgt Arranth?  Tell him Retired Sgt Whiteaxe needs his assistance."
[20:06] <+Nym> ::shrugs and shakes his head:: "No this was abandoned and in ruins. I was just hoping that you might know a transfer portal that might take us a distance towards the south. Perhaps something used by the less reputable traders ((read: smugglers))" 
[20:06] <.Bynw> *the guards nod and go to find Sgt Arranth*
[20:06] * +Kanax looks back to the group, "Hold that thought."
[20:07] * +Kanax bustles back to the others, orders another stout, and waits, "There may be a better way."
[20:07] <DavidSeafort> *low voiced* "You'll find that the Seaforts are rather lacking in Deryni and and magic. Something I intend to change."
[20:07] * +James smiles "You just don't like portals, Kanax."
[20:08] * +Kanax grins as he takes a gulp of the stout, "That's true, lad, but seriously, there is a better way."
[20:08] <+Nym> ::Shrugs and nods to Kanax:: 
[20:08] * +James considers. "Well, what is it?"
[20:09] <DavidSeafort> (^: "Apparently, it involves drinking large amounts of my our shipment."
[20:09] <DavidSeafort> our*
[20:09] <+Jenna> ((THE shipment!))
[20:10] <.Bynw> *within 20 minutes Sgt Arranth enters the tavern tent where the others are discussing their plans and ideas*
[20:10] <DavidSeafort> (( Altering Seafort records requires delta six clearance or higher. :-P ))
[20:10] <+Nym> ::Nods to David and looks pointedly at the silenced bow:: "Some day David you must travel to my lands I think it is best if I make alliance with you now; I have no doubts that some day you will head a very powerful organization." 
[20:10] * +Kanax finishes the stout, just as Arranth enters.
[20:11] <.Bynw> (( fnord ))
[20:11] <+Kanax> (( 23 ))
[20:12] <.Bynw> *the human sgt puts his hand on Kanax's shoulder* "You wanted to see me?"
[20:13] <+Kanax> "I'm sorry for sounding so urgent, Delan.  But I thought of a solution to our dillema.  And it requires your help."
[20:14] <.Bynw> *the sgt looks at Kanax's companions* "Oh?  What kind of help do you need?"
[20:14] * +Jenna now appears interested in Kanax's conversation
[20:15] <+Nym> ::Picks up a mug of ale and watches Kanax:: 
[20:15] <+Kanax> "Do you have enough manpower that you can spare a small ship and crew for an old soldier?  If you don't have the resources, I understand, but.."
[20:16] * +Jenna raises an eyebrow
[20:16] <+Jenna> "ship?!"
[20:16] <.Bynw> "A ship?"  *he looks around him*  "Don't own a boat."
[20:16] <DavidSeafort> o.o
[20:17] * DavidSeafort turns around and looks at the stacks of lumber
[20:17] * +Jenna gives Kanax a look of utter panic
[20:18] * +Kanax stands up, "Walk with me for a moment, Delan."
[20:18] <+Nym> ::Leans into Kanax and whispers:: "Perhaps he knows smugglers who do?" 
[20:18] <.Bynw> *the sgt takes a seat next to Kanax and orders up a drink of his own*  "I don't have gold spurs you know.  I don't have that kind of pull"
[20:18] * +Jenna looks at James pleadingly
[20:19] <+Jenna> "please tell me he doesn't mean a boat on water..."
[20:19] <DavidSeafort> ?? what's there to float on? the north-flowing river nearby ??
[20:19] <.Bynw> (( yeah there is that DavidSeafort ))
[20:19] * +Kanax sits back down, "I can ask the Lieutenant."
[20:19] <+James> "Well . . . I think he does, but a ship is slow.  Unless there's a big tactical advantage, I'd favor a portal."
[20:19] <+Kanax> "Can you put me in touch with him?"
[20:20] * +Jenna nods enthusiastically
[20:20] <+Jenna> "yes... a portal is great"
[20:20] <DavidSeafort> !! on the maps Quiette seems to be at the riverhead. !!
[20:20] <+Nym> ::Looks at Jenna with his face full of empathy:: 
[20:20] * DavidSeafort looks back at y'all
[20:20] * +Jenna looks almost sick to her stomach
[20:21] <+James> "So what's the advantage of a ship, Kanax?  It's certainly not as fast as a portal."
[20:21] <.Bynw> "He will think you are mad Kanax.  But I can put you in touch with him.  I wont say why though."
[20:21] <DavidSeafort> "I could lend you...each a...spar."
[20:21] <+Kanax> "I'm hoping my service record, both as a soldier and a civilian, stand well enough on their own, that the RANE could provide me with a brief escort."
[20:22] <+Nym> ::Looks down at the floor and sighs:: 
[20:22] <.Bynw> "If you didn't retire you would probably be the captain of the guard here."  *the sgt gets up and leaves*  "We will know where to find you."
[20:23] <+Kanax> "Thank you, Sgt Aranth."
[20:23] * +Jenna sets down her ale... no longer interested in it
[20:23] * +Kanax looks back at the others, and says, "It's faster than you might think."
[20:24] <.Bynw> ?? what do you do in the meantime ??
[20:24] * +Kanax notices the nauseated look on Jenna's face.
[20:24] <+Nym> ::Waits until the sgt. leaves and then speaks up to Kanax:: "Are you sure this is a good idea Kanax. The boat I can see but an overland escort will pull all sorts of attention to us." 
[20:24] <DavidSeafort> "You aim to float it that way?" *points up*
[20:24] <+Kanax> (( Finishing this conversation ))
[20:25] * +Kanax nods to DavidSeafort, then to Nym: "It's a rather unnoticed route, actually."
[20:25] <DavidSeafort> *sigh*
[20:25] <+Kanax> "The escort would be a crew."
[20:25] * +Jenna watches and listens to the conversation, appearing completely bewildered
[20:26] <+Kanax> "Tell me, Jenna.  What's the N in RANE stand for?"
[20:26] <DavidSeafort> *to self* "And all I want are some little wardings..."
[20:26] <+Jenna> "I don't know"
[20:27] <+Kanax> Navy
[20:27] <+Kanax> How many times have you been to Einar?
[20:27] <+Kanax> At least twice, that I know of. 
[20:27] <+Kanax> "Have you ever looked at it on a map?"
[20:27] <+Jenna> "no"
[20:27] <+Nym> ::turns back to David and raises an eyebrow:: 
[20:28] <+Kanax> "Do you know where the nearest body of water is?"
[20:28] <DavidSeafort> (( the map I have here isn't much help :-P I want the old one </whine> ))
[20:28] <+Kanax> "At least large enough to field a ship?"
[20:28] <+James> "Utha?"
[20:28] <+Jenna> "I've been on the river here before"
[20:28] <DavidSeafort> "Due north, and landlocked."
[20:28] <+Jenna> "not sure what you mean by ship"
[20:28] <DavidSeafort> "But there next is south-southeast."
[20:29] <DavidSeafort> the* too, also...
[20:29] <+Kanax> A landlocked country has no need for a navy, Jenna, if all their ships sail the seas.
[20:29] * DavidSeafort thinks
[20:30] * +Jenna looks even more puzzled
[20:30] <DavidSeafort> "A landlocked great lake has minor need for it."
[20:30] <+Jenna> "what ARE you talking about?"
[20:30] <+Kanax> "The ships sail the skys, not the seas."
[20:30] <DavidSeafort> *looks at Jenna* "How do the birds do it?" (-:
[20:30] * +Jenna looks wide-eyed at DavidSeafort then back at Kanax
[20:31] <+Jenna> "fly?"
[20:31] <+Nym> ::Looks to Kanax in astonishment:: 
[20:31] * +Kanax nods, "If I have any pull at all."
[20:31] <+Jenna> "you want a boat that FLIES??"
[20:31] * +Jenna turns a slightly darker shade of green
[20:32] <DavidSeafort> "I've been on one that has done it. But also haven't. Neither confirm nor deny, and all that." *wink*
[20:32] <+James> "Airships?  Fascinating . . . "
[20:32] <+Kanax> "If I'm successful, we can make great haste.  If not... I hear the werewolves are quite lovely this time of year.
[20:32] * +Jenna glances at David for a moment then looks back to Kanax
[20:33] * +Jenna then decides to down the remainder of her ale all at once
[20:33] <DavidSeafort> *half muttered* "Had a great chance to improvise an anti-ship battery with breakfast dishes and ordinary fire powder, though."
[20:34] * +Kanax stands, then smiles at Jenna, "There's nothing to worry about."
[20:34] <+Jenna> "yeah - right"
[20:34] * +Jenna orders another ale
[20:34] <.Bynw> *Sgt Arranth returns after being gone for nearly a half hour, looking rather pale*
[20:34] <+Nym> ::Takes another drink of his ale:: "You must have much pull indeed Kanax to be able to get us passage on an airship. Captian did that man say? As in military leader of RANE?" 
[20:34] * DavidSeafort looks sidelong out of the corners of his eyes to see if anyone thinks him nuts yet
[20:35] * +Kanax looks up as Arranth arrives, "Are you alright, Sergeant?"
[20:35] <.Bynw> "No."  *he sits and orders himself another ale and downs it just as fast as Jenna did hers*
[20:35] * +Kanax returns to his seat yet again, "What troubles you?"
[20:36] <.Bynw> "You have a ship ... I'm not sure how or why.  But it seems you have more pull than I thought you did."
[20:36] * +Kanax blinks, "Apparantly so. And a crew?"
[20:37] * +Jenna drops her forehead onto the bar, shaking her head
[20:37] <.Bynw> *the sgt laughs and takes another ale*  "Your companions are going to be the crew."
[20:38] * +Kanax pales as well.
[20:38] <+James> "But I don't know how to fly an airship."
[20:38] <+Kanax> "I've only had the most basic training on skyship operation.  There's not time to get them whipped into shape for operations."
[20:38] * DavidSeafort notes that the bar is just a set of planks on emptied barrels, and Jenna almost topple a pitcher on the other end. Portability, you know. We even sell the planks when we're done!
[20:40] <+Jenna> ((always thinking, that merchant mind!))
[20:40] <.Bynw> "Along with myself Kanax.  Now's a good time to learn.  Or we wont be clearing the trees"
[20:41] * +Jenna bangs her head on the bar a few times (softly)
[20:41] <DavidSeafort> "Don't look at me; I've had only the slightest touch of sailed ship, and plenty on barges."
[20:41] <+James> "Well, what do I need to know to fly one?"
[20:41] * +Kanax frowns, "You have duties to attend here, Delan. Why is he sending you?"
[20:42] * DavidSeafort watches amusedly as a fellow customer steadies the pitcher with scowl on her face, then sneaks a swig right out of it.
[20:42] * DavidSeafort adds it to her bill
[20:43] <.Bynw> "Its really just an open skiff.  Like a canoe ... but a bit bigger.  It will hold us all."  *he looks to Kanax*  "huh? .... Oh ... It's not the Lt's idea"
[20:44] * +Jenna drinks the ale she ordered quickly
[20:44] * +Kanax smiles reassuringly, "There's really not much to know. It's fairly straightforward, I was just never assigned to one, so I'm rusty." This sadly contradicts the tone in his voice as he turns back to Arranth, "I did not mean to drag you into this, but I have Einar's best interests at heart. We are investigating the forest to the south."
[20:44] * +Jenna mutters a bit
[20:44] <+Jenna> "just save a space for me underneath the back seat"
[20:44] <DavidSeafort> (( to the sneaky customer's bill that is! ))
[20:45] <.Bynw> "it was Warden's."
[20:45] <+James> "Well, looks like we go by airship, then."
[20:45] * +Jenna looks up at James
[20:45] * +Kanax blinks, pales, and sputters, "W-warden's?"
[20:45] <+Jenna> "remind me why, again, please?"
[20:46] <DavidSeafort> (^: "I wonder if Jenna would be calling it a Scareship, now?" *with a bit of unplaceable pretend accent*
[20:47] <+Kanax> ((Austin Powers?))
[20:47] <+Nym> ::looks to Jenna:: "Werewolves have very sharp teeth my lady and they have even less manners then I." ::smiles:: 
[20:47] <DavidSeafort> (( hadn't though of that one, actually ))
[20:47] <.Bynw> "Yeah ... he came out of no where while I was looking for the LT.  I told him about it.  He said take a skiff, and told me were to find one and said I would be going along too."
[20:48] * +Jenna nods at Nym "I guess so"
[20:48] <+Nym> "Problem Kanax?" 
[20:49] <+James> "I gather a Warden is higher in the Einar hierarchy than a Lieutenant?"
[20:49] * +Kanax just shakes his head, "He didn't say why?"
[20:49] * +Kanax looks at James and Nym, "Just a bit. He's as close to the Prince as one can be without actually BEING him."
[20:50] <+James> "Oh.  I see . . . "
[20:50] <.Bynw> "No.  Not a word as to why, just gave the order."
[20:50] <+Kanax> "Well, he either wants me dead, or thinks we can help with the situation.  Either way, who am I to argue?"
[20:51] * +Jenna mutters "wait - did you say Warden?"
[20:52] <.Bynw> "Yeah.  Lord Warden." 
[20:52] * +Kanax nods, "Aye. You've seen him before."
[20:52] <+James> "Is he the one who gave Jenna the bow?"
[20:53] * +Kanax nods, "He presided over the contest."
[20:53] * +Jenna nods "okay I remember him"
[20:54] * +Kanax turns to Arranth, "Well, let's go, give me a refresher on this. We'll be fine."
[20:54] <+James> "Shouldn't we get Lars and Seanna first?"
[20:54] <+Kanax> "James, could you make sure our horses are stabled and paid for? We won't be able to take them with us."
[20:54] * +Jenna shuders a bit
[20:54] <+Kanax> "We're not leaving yet.
[20:55] <+Kanax> "I'm just getting a quick refresher on how to man a skiff.  Delan and I will take care of the operations."
[20:56] <+Nym> "Need any help Kanax; I've had a little bit of experiance with airships?" 
[20:56] <+James> "Okay, I'lll take care of the horses and send Lars and Seanna this way.  By then our silvered weapons should be ready."
[20:56] <+Jenna> ((to Nym)) "at least it'll serve the werewolves right, having a human puke on them"
[20:56] <DavidSeafort> "That they should."
[20:57] * +Kanax nods to Nym, "Sure, any help is welcome."
[20:57] * DavidSeafort looks at Jenna, a mix of amusement and disgust warring on his face
[20:57] * +James heads back to the tent.
[20:57] * DavidSeafort settles on a quiet "ew" with a big grin on his face
[20:58] * +Jenna follows James, hoping the night air will help clear her head (and stomach)
[20:58] * +Kanax stops by Jenna, placing his hand on her shoulder, "You have naught to worry about. It's little like the sea."
[20:58] <+Nym> ::Smiles to Jenna:: "Eat lite." 
[20:58] * +Jenna gives Nym a sarcastic smile
[20:59] * +Kanax heads out to relearn.
[20:59] * +James looks back. "You coming too, Jenna?"
[20:59] <+Nym> ::Grins then follows Kanax:: 
[20:59] <+Jenna> ((reminds you very much of her brother))
[20:59] <+Jenna> ((or everyone else anyway))
[20:59] * DavidSeafort slots the ledgers away and goes to check on a good, medium-grey horse outside, at the end of the lumber
[20:59] <+Kanax> ((hehe))
[20:59] <.Bynw> (( SKIFF DEF:  A flatbottom open boat of shallow draft, having a pointed bow and a square stern and propelled by oars, sail, or motor. ))
[21:02] <+Jenna> ((yes I'm going with James))
[21:02] <DavidSeafort> (( bah most of images.google.com doesn't obey the definition ))
[21:03] <.Bynw> *Delan Arranth leads Kanax and Nym towards the castles outerwalls and to a gate guarded by Einarian soldiers.  There he gives the password needed to enter and begins the basic training for Nym and Kanax*
[21:04] <+Kanax> "I'm sorry you've gotten dragged into this, lad."
[21:05] <.Bynw> (( best one to use on google images is on the 3rd page ... the repulser lift skiff from jedi -- that is about what is looks like too ))
[21:06] <.Bynw> (( but its bigger ... holds more people and gear ))
[21:06] <+Jenna> ((oh man Jenna is gonna FREAK OUT))
[21:06] <+Nym> ::Raises an eyebrow at Kanax then pats the sgt. back:: "Nonsense man. Don't listen to him you have to shake things up sometimes. Besides if we succeed you'll have helped us do a great service for Einar." 
[21:07] <+Kanax> "No, that's not what I mean, Lord Tennes."
[21:08] <DavidSeafort> (( the /Jedi/ skiff? *incredulous* ))
[21:08] <+Nym> "Oh?! I'm afraid you lost me." 
[21:08] <+Kanax> "I mean, when I asked for help, I didn't expect Delan's fate to get mixed into this."
[21:09] <.Bynw> *the skiff is teathered and is floating a foot off the ground when Kanax, Nym and Delan Arranth arrive*
[21:09] <.Bynw> (( SWITCH ))
[21:10] <+Nym> ::Becomes serious for a moment:: "Great men do the unexpected. Perhaps this will end in a promotion for you Delan; you never know." 
[21:10] * +Kanax nods silently, but still seems uneasy.
[21:10] <+Kanax> (( *goes looking for snacks while switched* ))
[21:10] <.Bynw> *James and Jenna head towards the tent to get Lars and Seanna.  Lars is no longer standing guard at the tent but is just coming out of it with a big smile on his face*
[21:11] <+Nym> ((bingo!)) 
[21:11] <+James> "Hi, Lars.  You ready to go?"
[21:11] <+Nym> ((and his hair all messed up)) 
[21:11] <+Kanax> ((shirt disheveled))
[21:12] <DavidSeafort> (( oh no, Quantum Leap episode flashback: "Bingo, bango, bongo!" *whacks Nym for the reminder* ))
[21:12] <+Nym> ((lol)) 
[21:12] <.Bynw> *Lars* "Oh yes!  *he says fondly holding his sword then dropping it back into its scabbord*
[21:13] <+Jenna> ((his sword?!?!?!  yikes!))
[21:13] <+James> "Okay, we need to get the horses stabled and the tent packed."
[21:13] <+Nym> ((lars your fly is down)) 
[21:14] <+James> "And where's Seanna?  Inside?"
[21:15] <.Bynw> *Seanna comes out of the tent*  "Yes I was ... we ready to go??"
[21:15] <+Kanax> ((outfit akilter))
[21:15] <+James> "Just about.  We need to get the horses stabled and the tent packed."
[21:16] <+Kanax> ((straw in her hair))
[21:16] <.Bynw> *james is able to find stables for the horse ... and is able to pay for them all using the funds he has in the small chest.  Lars takes care of breaking camp*
[21:16] <DavidSeafort> (( Young Franenstein flashback: roll, roll! roll in the hay! See? It's fun! ))

[21:17] * +James leads the others back to the tavern after taking care of horses and tent.
[21:17] <+Kanax> (( There.  There wolf.  There castle ))

[21:19] <+Kanax> ((Oops, unintentionally?))

[21:19] <+Jenna> ((luckily it's cold outside... wax cooling trick))
[21:20] <DavidSeafort> (( Yay, order! *causes order and dismayhem to celebrate* ))
[21:20] <+James> ((Dump it in the snow?))
[21:20] <+Kanax> ((Oh. I need more VanCap: 2 small apocs, 2 6 oz hex, 2 9 oz hex))
[21:20] <+Jenna> ((set the pot outside to cool off before pouring))
[21:20] <.Bynw> (( how dare you say that 4 letter word ))
[21:21] <+Jenna> ((LOL Kanax))
[21:22] <DavidSeafort> (( Bynw, need? More? Snow? ))
[21:22] <DavidSeafort> (( hmm, didn't mean "need more snow", though I suppose we do here. Send some? ))
[21:23] <.Bynw> (( we dont have any ))
[21:23] <.Bynw> (( we dont want any either ))
[21:23] <DavidSeafort> (( just makes it cheaper to send (-; ))
[21:24] <.Bynw> *After about an hour, which would make it around 1am Delan, Kanax and Nym return to the tavern tent to get the others for departing*
[21:24] <DavidSeafort> (( *opens up a box xmas day* Oh! Look what Bynw and Tika sent us! All the snow in on their yard! ))
[21:26] <DavidSeafort> *different set of merchant guards is on duty, except for the fellow obessively watching the storage yard. David is nowhere to be seen, nor is the medium-grey horse from earlier*
[21:26] <+Kanax> "Is everyone ready?"
[21:27] <+James> "I'm ready."
[21:27] <+Nym> ::Nods:: "where are the weapons and where is David?" 
[21:27] <.Bynw> *Delan* "I'll get the skiff ... and met you by the Arch."
[21:27] <+Jenna> ((niters guys, have fun with Jenna barfing ))
[21:28] <+Nym> ((night, I'll hold her hair)) 
[21:28] * +Jenna (Tika@12-216-58-250.client.mchsi.com) Quit
[21:28] <DavidSeafort> (( here's the largest surface skiff I've found. crew of 13. http://nezumi.dumousseau.free.fr/bantry2a.htm ))
[21:30] <+Nym> ((good picture)) 
[21:31] <.Bynw> (( i'm just gonna use the one from Jedi but have it a bit bigger not too much since that held about a half dozen ... just a few more is all ))
[21:31] <DavidSeafort> *A bedraggled server rises from a littered table and hands Nym a note* ((gotta remember this for next session))
[21:32] <.Bynw> (( looks like a good stopping point ))
[21:32] <+Nym> ::takes the note with a look of curiosity at the server, but says nothing:: 
[21:32] <+James> "No weapons yet.  David was gone when we got back."
[21:32] * +Kanax nods to Delan, and makes sure everything is ready.
